GreedFall

I played Technomancer, Bound By Flame and Sherlock Holmes games so I was prepered for this game to be on the smaller size and for reusing some of the assets here and there. This game is all busy work and no fun. You just talk to npcs, go pick some documents or key and return to npc to talk again. In Technomancer there was some running back and forth between locations but this takes the cake. This game is lazy or put together in a hurry, I can't pick up any differances between the cities. The interiors are copy pasted around and look identical to each other. You walk in and there are stiars to the right in every house of a noble or some marchant. You fight with the same monsters all the time. I uninstalled this game after I talked to an NPC I went down the stairs to pick up a document and then had to return up the stair to confront the NPC. Ahhh this game is such a chore.

I enjoyed my time with this game. The setting is one that is not so common in RPGs, adding some freshness. The story is interesting overall, and many of the key players have hidden sides that might be more malicious or reasonable than you first expect. It seems most of the inspiration for this game was taken from Witcher 3, though it does not have the length and scope of that game. Still, it is enjoyable for what it is. The game is semi-linear, with some backtracking which can be a little annoying. Overall, I recommend the game.

I found this game due to being at home a lot - Corona strikes, new Games help - and found it very good! Yes there are things that could be better, for example I miss more dialogue options with companions and the world is a bit empty at times. But overall I had a lot of fun in the 44 hours I spent with the game! The setting is fresh and really cool, the companions are likeably, the quests are at least decent with some great quests and some relly good cutscenes ... decisions matter, there are numerous ways to go through the game and to finish quests. Overall I highly recommand the game to everyone enjoying Bioware games but also games from Piranha Bytes or even - at times - the Witcher-Series. Have fun! I sure had! :-)

So I played this back on PS4, but still want to leave a review here as my critique is mostly platform-unrelated. I found the game to be quite lacking in a number of atributes. The most annoying thing was the worldbuilding. There are some very different nations with kind of interesting stories to them, yet everything looks the same. They have the exact same buildings copypasted into every town, which there aren't many of. The world feels empty and you spend a lot of time walking around. There rarely is a real thing going on with your party and you never have to make hard decisions. Never? Not quite. In the very End there is one, so if you want to stay 100% Spoiler free, stop reading here, but I will try to write this without spoilers as much as possible. Basically you decide between old and new, or that's what I thought. However it seems to be intended more like a moral choice. It's at the very end, so it doesn't affect the game at all. Just the aftercredit scene and that one shows, that nothing in the game really matters. You choose the one thing, all is fine, you choose the other, all your friends die, everyone hates you, all is going to crap. This just retroacteviley ruined the last bit of respect I had for this game.

The game is painfully mid .. nothing it does is even in a slightes above average I was so bored out of my mind playing this game
